I can't give the exact order of the first three, so I'd just say that luck would be the least I'd need. I've seen uneducated people lived their lives at best, as I've seen intelligent people who later became fools.
As for perseverance, I think it comes natural to us. Let's say, struggles in life, we always try to do our best to have a better life to live. Even thiefs and robbers persevere, but not just for the right cause!;)
Luck, is an extra bonus in life. A spice that adds flavor in life, as it can also be a color that gives excitement in every journey that we take..

1.Inteligence. Here i will add too: creativity and intuition. We need a good ideas, strategy, quick reactions to the changes and a good strategical skills.
2.Perserverance and hard working.If the initial failures discourage us too quickly, we must work on it. Some ideas need much more time to be developed and realized.
3.Luck. All luck is very very wellcomed, but we must not rely only on it.
4.Education. Means almost nothing. Too many educated people cant find a good job and some others without any education -can. But some qualification is ok.

Education. Gets you ready some for the real world specialy math I know of no job that isnt about nos. in some way.
Intelligence: Have to have that to learn and get by in the world ,you have to learn how to figure out things and this take intelligence.
perserverance:
you have to keep going im what you do or you wil never get any where.
Luck: that dont hurt either to have some luck along the way.

I am not trying to cop out but you have the words in the correct order. There is so much in business and life that comes down to luck.Being in the right place at the right time.And when you get there it is your intelligence that keeps you there. I don't mean degrees but your smarts and instincts.Then Education can help you advance in some cases.You learn the business, you go to college to get your degree, any type of education helps.And last but not least,perserverance is key. stick to it. go for it and never give up.

You know something funny? I didn't even think about what my own answer was til I started reading your response. Then, I thought that I may have unconciously put them down in the order that I believe.
I looked at my order and that's not exactly true.
I think that the order, must depend on the person.
For some, I think luck plays a huge factor. It isn't something that any of us can count on. But some are lucky and become succesful without a lot of effort.
For some, perserverance is key. Some people just have the ability to never give up. Personally, I don't have that quality. Of course, perserverance alone cannot help you achieve success, you would at the very least need some intelligence and some education. In that case, I think luck would be last.
Personaly, I have not reached a lot of success in business, so I can't say what combination would work for me.
With family, I guess perserverance, luck, intelligence and education are how things have worked out for me.
pereserverence - never give up, especially on your kids.
luck - some kids are easier to raise than others. I have great kids. They aren't "easy" to raise, but they aren't the hardest of kids to raise either.
intelligence - I'm smart enough have observed my parents styles, my siblings styles and styles of friends around me, in parenting. I have observed what worked and what didn't and applied that to my own parenting.
education- part of my "education" has been purely obervation, part has been trial and error and part has been reading and research. This also has helped me in my parenting.
Thanks for your response.

Thank you for your comment. It is times like this when I wished I could rate the best comment.I like your order. The one thing I disagree with is you belittling your education on parenting. The best thing to do is to observe especially with raising kids.And being a parent is the hardest job on the planet.

Let's see, I don't believe in luck, so the first one for me would be blessing. Then I pray for wisdom, with wisdom comes understanding. Then brings intelligence. With intelligence, I realize that I need an education.
Learning does not come that easy for me(math). So, I would need perserverance. Thereby leading to success and then thanksgiving for all my blessings and then start all over again.

By far, the most important is perseverence. That is because if you never quit, you will reach your goals. If you keep overcoming hurdle after hurdle, you will eventually reach where you want to go. Luck is not a factor you can depend on. There are plenty of intelligent and educated people that are unsuccessful. That is because they quit too early or couldn't decide what they wanted to do and stick with it.

This is a good question and the order that I would give it is luck, intelligence, perserverance, and education.
Education is on the bottom because it is the foundation to everything else. Perseverance is next because everyone makes mistakes but only the sucessful ones keep on trying. Intelligence is next because you have to be smart enough to learn from the mistakes. And finally luck....because it takes the right set or combination of everything to be successful.

I think they're all important with luck being last, and the rest all kind of tied for first. It's very important to have an education, and intelligence doesn't really mean Albert Einstein, it's just your educational background.
